very true

Yup, i know that the job market is harsh...but i wouldn't say very very very harsh. I'm thinking i have better like finding a long-term/perm. job in HK than here in the states. I'm only finding temp jobs rite now...and i need something mroe stable. Anyways, i've always wanted the experience to work in HK. So, pretty much anything will do. That's why i need the hookups.

Originally posted by bigredlemon I dont think going to HK is going to be a good idea. Shang Hai is taking all the jobs that used to be there. From what i hear, lots of people from Taiwan and HK are heading there for jobs.

yes, i have some friends that went over to shang-hai also. I woul go, but i haven't perfected my mandarin yet. Like i said earlier, i'm an ABC, i think HK would be a better choice for me...then move on up.

~Kwun,

I'm more focused in the business management , that is my major, and i've just graduated not too long ago. As for work experience, it's been random from the temp jobs i've done. I worked in a bank, retail, search engine company, and real estate. So, i honestly consider myself in the category of "entry level" Right now, any type of job in the business field(very general, i know) would be nice.

Unemployment in HK is still pretty bad now. And from what I'm told by my HK friends, university graduates in HK would consider themselves lucky if they can land a HK$7000 to $8000 job (per month) fresh out of university. (and that's only around US$1000 per month) If you factor in housing and transportation costs, it seems pretty difficult for someone such as yourself to just break even.

Having said that, a CBC friend of mine recently headed to HK to teach English. Don't know how much he's earning, but at least he's got the job.

as a mater of fact, i'm aware of the salaries...and...it doesn't bother me too much, living wise, that's are settled...so...more of a...i just want to be in HK and ...i want to build up my connections there to work with or be in china afterwards. Hard to understand my way of thinking...hehe

mainly..just want to build up connections like i've already said...and head back to the states for a better opportunity...I'm sure everybody is already aware of China's potential =)
